Definitions
- the present disclosure belongs to the technical field of generators, and in particular relates to a marine support column structure with power generation function.
- Power generators are widely used in industrial and agricultural production, national defense, science and technology and daily life. Many forms of power generators all work based on an electromagnetic induction law and an electromagnetic force law. Therefore, the power generators are generally constructed on the following principle: a magnetic circuit and an electric circuit for mutually performing electromagnetic induction are constructed using an appropriate magnetically-conductive material and an appropriate electrically-conductive material respectively to generate electromagnetic power so as to achieve the purpose of energy conversion.
- Electric energy shortage often occurs to ships travelling on the sea. But the sea is rich in energy, and therefore, it is necessary to design a power generating device that may be used on a ship so as to solve the problem of electric energy shortage.

- the marine hydroelectric generator produces no frictional force and thus has no mechanical wear in a power generation process; at the same time, automation is easily controlled and realized with an electric current as a control medium, bringing no noise pollution and wide application prospect.
